Donald Rose Wright[1] (November 24, 1929 – July 5, 2014) was an American politician from Alaska.
His father was half Gwich'in and half white, with familial origins in Old Crow, Yukon, and was one of numerous Alaska Natives recruited for and mentored in the ministry by Episcopal bishop Peter Trimble Rowe.
Most of his notoriety in Alaskan politics has come as a perennial candidate for statewide office in Alaska over several decades.
His younger brother Jules served one term in the Alaska House of Representatives as a Republican from 1967 to 1969.
Another brother, Gareth, also ran for office, but was better known as the patriarch of a family of sprint dog mushers and as a frequent rival to George Attla in numerous races over the years.
